IMPROVED UPSET, PUNCH, AND SHEAR/S.

I The $chedu1e. referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom it. may concern Be it known, that we, JOHN B. Resin and .JEROM B. BROWN, of New London, in the county of Wan pacca, and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Upset for Punch and Shears; and wedo hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, andin which- Figure 1 represents an end view, and Figure 2, a plan view of our upset, punch, and shears.

. Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in both Our invention relates tolimprovements in upset for punch and shears; and to this end,

It consists in the employment of an eccentric lever,

in combination with a curve-bed and other devices for bending the tire.

It further consists in the employment of a punch and shears, operated by means of eccentric lever and other devices, substantially in the'manner and for the purpose hereinafter described.

To enable others skilled in the art to which our invention appertains, to make and use the same, we will now describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying-drawings- A A"represeut two parallel bars, or beams, made as seen in fig. 2, and secured together, at suitable distance apart, by means of the cross-piece, or bar B. It will be observed thatlthe cross-bar B is formed with a shoulder, O, and the end of the shoulder secured to the beam A, thereby more completely securing the beams A A.

On the upper surface of the cross-bar, or brace B is secured the projection a,1nade with a curved end, and

fOl'lllOLlfiViiih a gr0ove,'which extends the whole height of the projection, and connects with the mortise formed in the cross-bar B. In this groove and mortise is in- 0 reprcsentsa curved piece, or projection, attached to-thc cross-bar Band shoulder O,- as seen in fig. 2.

. d is'an adjustable plate, shaped like piece c, and

sliding upon the shoulder O. The slide'd is formed with a neck and mortise, through which passes a. screw,

d, by which the slide is held in position.

At the rear endof theslide d, in the shoulder G, is

formed a mortise, into which is inserted a key, 0, so

that by driving the key in the mortise, the sliding plate cl can beplaced at any desired distance from the curved piece, or projection o.

On the upper surface of the shoulder 0, near its end, is secured the punch f," which is inserted in a bed formed by the pieces g g. I Y E represents a projection, formed on tlieinner edge of the cross-piece B, directly opposite the punch, and is formed with a recess, 0', to receive the tire to be punched, said tire being retained in place-by means of a key, h. u

Theother end of the punch is formed with an arm, which passes down into a recess, j, formed on the inner side of the lever F, by which arrangement, when the lever is operated, the punch -is made to have a horizontal motion, l

The lever F is pivoted at one end to the projection 'G, formed on the upper surface-0f the"beam A, and is formed on its upper side with the recess lathe ends of thesaid recess being made curved, as seen in fig. 2. 1 represents a key, inserted in the recess k, and entering a mortise formed in the lever F, by which 31''. raugement the tire is held in said recess.

H represents a hollow projection, (made as seen in fig. 2,) formed on the outer end of beam A. In this projection is pivoted theeccentric lever-H, connected to the lever 1 by the strap 12.

N represents the shears, pivoted to the projection q, on the beam A-. These shearsare used to cut the tire.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The improved machme'herein described, consisting of beams A A, cross-brace B, projections cc 9, ad-

justable plated, keys b h e, levers '1. and H, and shears N, all arranged and operating substantially in the man,- ner and forthe purpose described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own,rwe afiix our signature, in presence of two. wit- JOHN -B. ROSE.
